Then, the merry gentleman himself, with Dogmeat wanting on, lets us in on just a little secret. “See this? It ain’t no log. This can be a human arm. Particularly, a fats man’s. It burns good, doesn’t it?”

He retains a number of spare arms on standby all year long, you see, “dry growing old … simply because it’s so good through the winter. Keep armed, keep heat, that’s what I at all times say.”

There are not any seasons and no Santa Claus in Fallout‘s decimated world, however there’s nonetheless the soothing storytelling of Mr. New Vegas (voiced by Wayne Newton within the recreation) and his retro radio hits, which take a festive flip because the musical backdrop whereas the Ghoul’s arm-fueled fire crackles peacefully.
